- Lot Description
Willem Janszoon Blaeu (Dutch, 1571-1638). "Regno Di Napoli" copper plate engraving with hand coloring. Published in Amsterdam, ca. 1640. A beautifully engraved map of the Kingdom of Naples with 12 coats of arms (6 bordering the left side and 6 bordering the right side) as well as the Kingdom of Naples coat of arms featured above the cartouche flanked by two mermaids and the Spanish coat of arms at the upper right. The mermaids as well as the illustrations of ships at sea may allude to Blaeu's background, as he was the son of a herring merchant. While Blaeu elected to pursue astronomy and mathematics rather than fishing, an attraction to the sea likely informed his work. A fine example with vibrant hand coloring and vivid text on the verso. Size of map: 15" L x 19.625" W (38.1 cm x 49.8 cm) Size of sheet: 19.5" L x 23.125" W (49.5 cm x 58.7 cm)
A prominent Dutch geographer, Willem Janszoon Blaeu honed his globe making skills with Tycho Brahe, a famous Danish astronomer. At his shop in Amsterdam, Blaeu published maps, sold globes and instruments, and also edited works by intellectuals such as Descartes. He also created an atlas entitled, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas novus" (1635).
